Conceptual understanding: Objects can be compares using mass and length

Context: This term we explored strategies for ways to measure objects and ways to compare objects. We looked at
informal ways to measure objects from shortest to longest and then compared objects to describe if they were
shorter than or longer than. We used counters to determine and measure the length of everyday objects within
the classroom. We looked at mass and compared objects to see if they were heavier than or lighter than and
ordered objects from lightest to heaviest. We grouped items into base 10 groups, counting by groups of 10s and
left over groups of 1s.

Strategy checklist:
o Sorting objects - from shortest to longest, lightest to heaviest
o Measuring objects informally (using counters)
o Comparing objects using language - shorter than and longer than, lighter than and heavier than
o Grouping items into base 10 to count groups eg 10, 20 with 3 left over = 23

Australian Curriculum Content descriptor:

Use direct and indirect comparisons to decide which is longer, heavier or holds more, and explain reasoning in everyday
language (ACMMG006 )
Compare, order and make correspondences between collections, initially to 20, and explain reasoning (ACMNA289 -
